Product: 840 G1 Laptop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
I have a 840 G1 laptop which appears to not have a backlit display. There is no option in the BIOS for configuring the time delay as there are in others we have.
Can I just replace the non-backlit keyboard 730794-xx1 with a backlit one 731179-xx1?
Will the option to configure the delay then show in the BIOS?
Do I need to do anything else?
The service manual does not appear to cover the change as opposed tot he replacement.
